Questions

I’m building an external Electron/NodeJS app and need to add a populated After Effects project (.aepx) directly into Adobe Media Encoder’s queue without launching After Effects.What I tried:Starting AME and attempting to run ExtendScript via command line: --console es.executeScript, es.executeScript=, and -r script.jsxInside the script: calling app.getFrontend() and app.getEncoderHost(), subscribing to onItemAddedToBatch and onBatchItemCreationFailed, and writing to a temp log fileAME launches, but the script never seems to run (no file writes, no events, no queue items)Goal:Programmatically add the .aepx to AME’s queue (ideally with preset and output) without launching AE.Questions: Is there a supported way in AME 2024/2025 to execute ExtendScript from command line so it runs in the AME host?What is the recommended method to queue AE projects in AME without opening AE?If CLI script execution is not supported, should we use a CEP/UXP panel or Watch Folders instead?Can anyone share

So, I need AE22 installed on my computer .. I don't want to upgrade. Yet, Creative Cloud uninstalls programns withouth me saying it to do so ... My Adobe Media Encoder 2022 is missing, got uninstalled. I need AE22 and Me22 on my setup, there are some issues with Bodymovin not rendering in AE23 and AE24 that I haven't figured out yet, BUT it works perfect in AE22.  Someone please tell me how I can installed 2022 programns. The option for older versions, older than 23, doesn't show up.

Issue - Despite making changes to a composition and sending it to AME (from the AE menu "Composition -> Send to Adobe Media Encoder Queue"), Media Encoder exports a video that shows an older version of that composition. The changes are not included. This persists between program restarts and PC shutdowns. Adobe Media Encoder version number - 24.3 build 49 (After Effects version 24.4.0 build 47)Operating system - Windows 10 Pro (22H2) Steps to reproduce - Import a CSV file into AE. Use that CSV as a data source for several text layers. Pre-compose the text layers. Save. Send to AME. Make changes to the CSV outside of AE. Confirm that the new data is appearing in AE. Send to AME.Expected result - All changes made to the composition are reflected in the exported video.Actual result -  The exported video is not based on the actual current state of the composition, but a past state. The old data is showing up.

I've been attempting to export a project for a couple of days. I first thought it was a corrupt asset in Premiere, but now I think it's the Media Encoder app. I've uninstalled the app, cleaned the cache, and reset the preferences. Nothing has worked. However, I can break it up into 2 segments and sucessfully export it. Note: I went back and attempted to export some older projects that I had successfully exported in the past and Media Encoder still froze up. Last thing to mention, I attempted to export directly out of Premiere to the built in encoder and it still freezes up. I need some direction.Thanks  

HelloI see that this is a common problem and no one gets to any conclusions...In short: Latest AE, latest AME, windows 10Simple composition created in AE -> Add to AME queue.  -> AME opens and hangs while displaying Reading XMPIs there a solution for this?Many Thanks

Bonjour,Media encoder ne s'ouvre plus depuis les dernières versions.Comment résoudre ce problème ?Merci pour votre aide

Media Encoder is not working. I updated my MacBook Pro, and the app and have uninstalled and reinstalled Media Encoder twice with no luck. Need to upload a video and cant

初心者の為、そういう物なのかわからず困っています。解決方法があるなら教えて欲しい。 CharacterAnimatorでパペット作成、音声ファイルをリップシンクさせたものを、アルファを含んだ～Mediaencoder経由で書き出ししました。 3分程のデータでしたが、書き出し時間に3時間かかりました。 こちらのファイルをPremiere𝗣𝗿𝗼で更に編集しエフェクトやBGMなど使い5分ほどのファイルにしましたがPremiere𝗣𝗿𝗼での書き出しは15程で完了しました。 あまり高スペックではないノートパソコンを使用していますが、パソコンスペックの問題で書き出しに時間がかかっているならPremiereでの書き出しにも同様に時間がかかるのでは？それであるならばMediaencoderでの書出し時間も何らかの方法で短縮できるのではと考えました。 色々調べてみましたが私の調べ方が悪いのかパソコンをアップグレードする以外の解決策を見つける事ができませんでした。 なんとかメディアエンコーダー側の設定で短縮する事はできないでしょうか？

I am new to Media Encoder. I have been using it for about a week now. I can't figure out how to keep my Disc from looping at the end and start playing over. My goal is to play the disc and then stop at the end.

I can't download Media Encoder 2023 anymore, and my system doesn't support the current version.  Am I out of luck?  I can still get older versions of Premiere, Audition, Photoshop, etc.  Why has this one disappeared?  And why no access to the last version of Encore?  I already don't like the subscription model, but now losing access to programs that I use makes it more frustrating.

I’m running an ExtendScript inside Adobe Media Encoder 2025 on macOS and I keep getting this error:objc[38592]: Class CertificateVerifier is implemented in both /Applications/Adobe Media Encoder 2025/Adobe Media Encoder 2025.app/Contents/Frameworks/Registration.framework/Versions/A/Registration (0x1384658e0) and /Applications/Adobe Media Encoder 2025/Adobe Media Encoder 2025.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Media Encoder 2025 (0x104dad930). This may cause spurious casting failures and mysterious crashes. One of the duplicates must be removed or renamed. Environment: macOS [15.6 Sequoia], Adobe Media Encoder 2025 [25.3 Build 73]What I expected: script to run without errorsWhat happens: error above, and doesn't run the scriptWhat I tried: reinstalling Media Encoder, clearing prefsHas anyone else encountered this CertificateVerifier duplicate class error?Is this a known bug in AME 2025 or something with ExtendScript?   I'm on an Apple M1 Pro

Hello, I am looking for a direct download link for Adobe Media Encoder 2021 (version 15). I am using an older project with Adobe Premiere Pro 2021, and the current versions of Media Encoder are not compatible. Adobe Support has informed me that the installer is no longer available on their servers.If anyone in the community has a copy of the installer and would be willing to share it, it would be a huge help. Thank you! 

Hey y'all, I'm trying to desqueeze some footage using media encoder and all the necessary elements seem to be set to the correct settings, but when it exports I have a 1.333 aspect ratio frame with a 16:9 squeezed video in the center. Basically, the "Stretch to Fill" option under the "Source Scaling" section doesn't seem to be doing its job, despite the preview being the correct aspect ratio. here's a before & after of the issue: https://imgur.com/fLkv3WHhere's my settings in ame: https://imgur.com/3D1bOgc as you can see the preview shows the video in the correct aspect ratio, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong for it to export incorrectly. Would appreciate any help y'all can give! thanks! system specs:Macbook Pro (16 inch, 2019)processor 2.4 ghz 8-core intel core i9amd radeon pro 5600m 8gbintel uhd graphics 630 1536mbsoftware specs:adobe media encoder v15.4.1footage specs:Codec: AVCcontainer: mp4acquisition: shot on a samsung galaxy s10+ using the app Ut

I have three versions of AME installed on my Macbook Pro: 2019, 2018 and 2017. These three apps are 3 of the Top 4 largest apps on my system (2017 + 2018 are taking up nearly 7GB of space). I have scoured the web/forums trying to find the answer to this question. Is it okay to remove old versions of Media Encoder? One would assume that you can, but for some reason information on this is very ambiguous/non-existent.Thanks

Hi all! Recently I've been having an issue with my Media Encoder not connecting to an After Effects file that I try to export. I've done some digging on this and found that I should try uninstalling and reinstalling the software. Unfortunately, that didn't fix the issue. This has happened to me in before in the past month and reinstalling worked, but this time it did not. Can someone please give me some pointers if this has happened to you and you've managed to fix it? Thanks so much!

I have 300 clips exported from premiere pro, they are all in order on my time line. I place them in a bing and then send to media incoder. They are all in perfect order, but when I export them, they are all over the place. No matter how I sort them, by date created, name, etc. they are all out of order. I looked up adding sequential numbers automatically to the exported files and two options are "add a # sign to the file name and they will be automatically numbered" but to do that I would have to manually go through 300 clips and add the # sign to each one.  The other option was to "create an ingest preset" but the feature to modify exported file names seems to be gone from there. Is there any possible way to add sequential numbers to my file names or just keep the files in order when I export them? It's a music playlist and they must be in order.

With the older encoder the upload panel was always on the right side (I never needed to move it). Sometime after I upgraded to 2024 the panel disappeared. I haven't done any work in almost a year so now it's just become a problem. i upload to multiple locations.  Can't find that panel anywhere and can't find a post that anybody else is missing it (iincluding searching here) fp

Hi!When I use Media Encoder to export videos from Premiere Pro, it exports without any audio effects. If I export one by one at Premiere Pro itself, it works fine and all the audio effects are exported.It's frutrating, because I need to export several videos everyday, and exporting one by one is not productive. It happened with me in all versions of AME, both in Mac or Windows computers. I'm using now a laptop with Windows 10, Intel i5 8th Gen, no graphic video card dedicated.

TLDR: Hi. I need this setting to stick with the pre-set when I save the preset. Here is what I'm doing, to many hundreds of file - so it's important that this work and I can export the complete settings for my presets in a backup file. A watch folder has been set up to wait for a video file. (This happens in many many folder, but let's just talk about one.)The video is CROPPED in Media encoder, 4:3, to chop off the sides. The final video is square, with the 4:3 action area in the center of the square, with an overlay covering the blank spots that contains branded info.The CROPPED video has an overlay applied.The final video is EXPORTED to a 1:1 video with audio removed.I use SHUTTER ENCODER to add our branded audio file to every video because Media Encoder wont do this.Currently, when I save the preset, the crop setting seems to vanish and does not appear when I just want to edit a preset. Help! Any suggestions?

We have seen a lot of crashers with the "Insta 360 Reframe" plug-in in our Dashboard lately. I tested with the latest plugin from https://www.insta360.com/de/download/insta360-x3 in("Insta 360 Reframe" V2 build 20) in  the standard location on Mac, and it did not crash. Please verify if you have the latest version, and install it correctly in the default location.

My project fails to render in Media Encoder 25.3 (Build 73). At encounter of the first clip with stabilizer effect I get an error. In the Premiere Pro 25.3.0 (Build 84), the first frame of the stabilized clip is black, before stabilizing it was not black.Is this a bug in stabilizer or in Media Encoder?Can I rescue the project?Error:------------------------------------------------------------- Kodierungszeit: 00:00:0906/30/2025 02:58:36 PM : Codierung fehlgeschlagen------------------------------------------------------------Fehler beim ExportFehler beim Kompilieren des Films.

The Media Encoder 2022 seems to be buggy on my side. I usually select different sections of video and find out that the videos are exporting the same videos that I didn't ask for. Is there some kind of issue with Premiere's version when it comes to transferring the videos to Media Encoder for you guys or is it just bugged on my side? Usually, when I export things in bulk, I don't get this problem but it's been annoying and I have to double-check what actually exported correctly.

Hello,I want  to render a movie with subtitle into DCP format using Media Encoder.If I render in H264 format, I get the mp4 file with an .srt file, when I open the .mp4 file with VLC, I can include or not the subtitle, eveything works fine.When I render in DCP format, I do not find the subtitle file into de folder.dcp wich contains only video and audio along with the various XML control files. What am I wrong doing ?Thanks, Frank.

when i load media encoder i get a error window 'adobe media encoder has encountered an unexpected error and cannot continue … the load window was sitting at AEXD ... if i the unload and reinstall the app everything is ok … for that session I did a support chat and i feel had a poor experience ... the first call was disconnected with no explaination after asking me to re-name folder 'common' did not work. The second call i was almost immmediately asked to load software and do a remote session. My backgound has been computer security ... i was unhappy to leap straight into this option without looking for known errors etc first ... again this call was disconnected with no warning/explanation Is this usual? Is remote session the standard support route? If so I can build a 'support user' to limit their access. However, in a flash of inspiration I found the solution ... Due to my security background i am reluctant to give applications, under macOS,  access to di
